Limitation: the MPE "Common Channel" isn't supported, your controller has to send common events to each channel (that feature may be added in a firmware update).

Just a plea to all synth manufacturers...

If you're going to implement MPE, please implement it to spec.

Cheers!

I am not going to disagree with you, it would be nice to have common channel.

In the latest version of the EssenceFM firmware you can long click on a voice in the performance mode and copy it to all channels. This is a super quick way to get 16 channels of a given patch.

The Linnstrument has also been performing better via USB with the new firmware too.

One day soon I will get brave enough to post something.

What was wrong previously?

Has anyone tried out the modal argon8's mpe yet?

I'd like to hear about this too.

Cheers!

Physical Audios PA3 isn't listed yet. Looks interesting as all physical models...

Synapse has released their new synth Obsession (an OB-X/Xa emulation with lots of extras) and it is MPE compatible:

I saw this today. Not quite a Linnstrument in control, but apparently it simulates MPE?

I've added Obsession to the Recommended Sounds page. Argon8 was already on the page.

Hmm...

Maybe I've just got no patience for this guy's presentation style, but I didn't really get much from that video. At very least, despite whatever that app is supposed to be capable of, I don't think he did a very convincing job of demonstrating the A8's MPE implementation here.

That notwithstanding, I think we're overdue for a catch-up, Sofine. I can already hear the melodious clinking of ice in a glass...

Cheers!

Not an instrument but a utility to use non-mpe software instruments with MPE. Seems useful, going to give it a spin:
